Chameleon And Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello All "Hoppers"!

Today Art Impressions is doing a blog hop with Chameleon Pens and Perfect Paper Crafting. 

You should have arrived here from Perfect Paper Crafting

Below is my finished cards using the Ai Little People stamp called "Little Sprout" (Sku# 4317). I think this little character is absolutely adorable!

This was the first time I have used the new Chameleon Markers. I choose to use the Cool Tone set. They are really neat as you can get multiple colours from one pen. 

  The first step with the pens is to choose between 2 nibs: the soft brush or bullet nib. Then you insert the marker into the mixing chamber which holds a blending solution. The longer you hold it in the solution the lighter the color will start off. You can sort of see the color variation from light to dark on my scrap piece of paper. You can view a tutorial on the Chameleon website or click here.

It takes a bit of practice but it's really fun to play with these pens!

I was so excited to try out the Perfect Paper Crafting tool called Perfect Layers Mini and the Perfect Cutting Mat. Wow I was very impressed with how easy it is to cut perfect borders around your projects. You just line up the "catch lip" against the edge of your art and using a knife press firmly while cutting along the edge! There are 8 different border sizes! I don't think I'll use my paper trimmer ever again LOL!

Here's the simple design on the inside of my card.

Markers used:

Copics: 

E00, E11, R20

Chameleons: 

BL3 (Blue sky)

BG4 (Aqua Marine)

PR4 (Purple Grape)

Chameleon and Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello AI fans!!

We are having a fun hop today with Chameleon and Perfect Paper Crafting! You should have arrived here from Perfect Paper Crafting's Blog.

On my card today i used the AI stamp set With a Friend Window, Chameleon Earth Tone Set and Perfect Paper Crafting Mini Layers.

I started by stamping With a Friend Window in black ink on some white card stock. Next i colored the scene with my Chameleon Pens. I used the Earth Tone Set, which worked very well with this image!

I took some real close up photo's so you can see the shading i did on the chair, cats, trees and ground. It took a little practice but i really like the result!!

Next i pulled out Perfect Paper Crafting's Mini Layers tool. I decided to mix up the widths and i mated the image with some colored card stock that matched the Earth Tone coloring i did. This is really handy tool for matting, SOOOO easy to use!!

I practiced a little first and a little tip for you, adhere your colored panel first! You really don;t want it to move on you!! To finish off my card i just adhered my layered panel to a square white card base. The whole card measures 4 x 4!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop in the Hop is Chameleon Pens!!

Boy & Girl Mini Set by Karen Day

Welcome to another day of the Art Impressions Design team hopping with Chameleon Pens and Perfect Paper Crafting!  From June 15th-21st we will host a mini blog hop each day between the three company blogs to showcase our products.  You should be arriving here from the Perfect Paper Crafting blog.

 Today I am sharing three cards made with the Boy & Girl Mini Set (Sku #4403):

 I love how their little faces peek through the open window (I'm using Art Impressions Window Die Sku #4619).  The inside of my card shows the off Chameleon pens, and the wonderful gradiation of colour you can achieve with them:

I am using the 5 Pen Cool Tones set of Chameleon markers - and these are absolutely amazing!  Each pen comes with it's own infusing chamber that allows you to control the amount of colour in your pen.  To see videos of these pens in action - head on over to the Chameleon website.  Here are the gorgeous Cool Tones:

I made two additional cards using just the boy, and just the girl:

 I used two new products from Perfect Paper Crafting on today's projects - the Perfect Little Cutting Mat, and the Perfect Layers Mini Border Tool Set.

 These were SO helpful on this particular card - the border tools come with 8 different measurements.  I simply glued my striped paper onto a piece of black cardstock, and selected the 1/16" tool, placed it up against the striped paper, and when I used my exacto knife - it cut a perfect 1/16" mat around my paper!  These make perfect mat cutting a breeze... and the cutting mat has measurements around the rim, and a grid that I used to cut the perfect 2" squares with my exacto, that I needed for the window openings below:

 Your next stop today is the Chameleon blog - keep hopping to see what everyone has to share today!  And don't forget to enter our giveaway below.
